Als wärst du nicht mehr da Lyrics English Translation by Fabian Römer
(feat. Alice Stark)
You only see the good in hindsight
We only bring the flowers to the grave
Don’t wanna get it only
When I lose you
You only see the good in hindsight
So many times it became clear to me afterward
Can’t let that happen with you
I’ll always love you
Like you were already gone
Fighting with you, I regret it after ten minutes
Unfortunately know that sometimes just one is enough
For a little crack that won’t heal for years
You go silent, I bail in anger instead of forgiving
Nothing’s as loud as when you sneak out of the apartment
Nothing’s worse than the uncertainty
Just thinking: “What if something happens to you right now?”
And every damn second turns into eternity
And I know I could never forgive myself
If that were the last thing left of us
You only see the good in hindsight
We only bring the flowers to the grave
Don’t wanna get it only
When I lose you
You only see the good in hindsight
So many times it became clear to me afterward
Won’t happen with you
I’ll always love you like you were already gone
Time runs out faster the more we rush
The wave I’d love to ride today
Is the same one that drives us apart, yeah
Cold looks
Do you remember, we never wanted to be like this?
Searching everywhere
Through what crack did this damn everyday life get in?
You take it for granted so long until it’s gone
And you realize, there’s a stone missing from the foundation
And I know, I could never forgive myself
If I knew that you don’t even know that
You only see the good in hindsight
We only bring the flowers to the grave
Don’t wanna get it only
When I lose you
You only see the good in hindsight
So many times it became clear to me afterward
Won’t happen with you
I’ll always love you like you were already gone
Like you were already gone
Like you were already gone
Won’t happen to me anymore
I’ll always love you
Like you were already gone
You only see the good in hindsight
We only bring the flowers to the grave
Won’t happen to me anymore
I’ll always love you
Like you were already gone
